Option to Liberal Arts and Sciences, (AS.BIO)
This program prepares students to transfer to a four-year
institution to complete a baccalaureate degree with a
major in one of the following areas: biology, microbiology,
biotechnology, physical therapy, pharmacology or physician
assistant programs. Students in this program engage in a
broad-based liberal arts and sciences curriculum that is
typical of freshman and sophomore biology major at a
four-year institution.
Graduates of baccalaureate biology programs can enter
professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, chiropractic medicine, and physical or occupational
therapy. Biology graduates can also continue graduate work
beyond their baccalaureate degree and enter exciting
research fields such as molecular biology, microbiology,
botany, and zoology.
Graduates of this program should be able to:
Understand and apply biological concepts
and principles;
Apply critical thinking and problem solving skills
in the analysis of data, in the design of experimental
procedures and in the evaluation of outcomes;
Communicate effectively both verbally and in writing;
Transfer to a four-year institution in a biology program.
